Hi SP. Thanks for the help. I've been looking for the button you mentioned but I can't find it. I don't know how to add it as a MIDI plugin (small triangle next to the add button in the plug-in manager). I also don't know how to select it as an input for another track. Would it be possible, if it's not too much trouble, to upload an image, please? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Hi SP. I have finally found the solution to the problem. I discovered that there was an option called "Send MIDI" within Ripchord. I activated it and the chords now work perfectly. Thank you for your kind help. Best regards.

@McHumphreys Try adding it as a MIDI plugin (small triangle next to the add button in the plug-in manager). You can then select It as an input for another track.

Everything works now, but I just discovered something strange. When recording chords, the key that triggers the sounds is also recorded along with the chord when using a MIDI keyboard. Therefore the chord is unusable. This does not happen if I play directly in the Ripchord VST with the PC mouse. I can't find an explanation for this.

When recording chords, the key that triggers the sounds is also recorded along with the chord when using a MIDI keyboard. Therefore the chord is unusable.

Make sure your don't use the same MIDI input you use for recording or else the trigger keys get recorded as well. If you cannot select another MIDI input it's an easy workaround to install a free virtual MIDI port like LoopMidi or LoopBe1 and use that as the MIDI input.

Again, thank you so much for your reply. I'm pretty lost because I'm not very good with these technical things. I don't know how to do what you say in your explanation, although I have discovered that I can record, avoiding the trigger key being recorded, by recording directly into the Ripchord recorder. Once the chords are recorded, with my MIDI keyboard, I can drag and drop that recording into the MAGIX track. Of course, it's still an option that requires more steps. I would love to know, if it's not too much trouble, the steps to select another MIDI input within MAGIX Samplitude itself to avoid recording that trigger note. Thank you very much in advance, SP. Kind regards.

@McHumphreys If I remember it correctly it works like this:

On track 1 you add Ripchord as a MIDI plugin (not as a VST Instrument Plugin). You can do this via the plugin browser.

On track 2 you right click on the record button in the track header and select the output of Ripchord to get the MIDI output of Ripchord routed to track 2. But additionally you also need to make sure that the MIDI input of track 2 (you can change this in the track editor left to the track header) isn't the same as in track 1 or else it will receive the MIDI notes you play on your keyboard as well.

Thanks again for your kind help. I feel bad bothering you with so many questions but I still can't do it. I guess I should record directly into Ripchord since it doesn't seem to work in Saplitude... or I'm just incapable of understanding this kind of technical stuff.

On track 1 I added a piano. In the MIDI input of its track editor I chose the VSTi Plugin Ripchord option and in the output, the piano. The option to add as MIDI does not appear in the plugin browser. In Ch In I wrote 1.

On track 2 I added Ripchord. In the MIDI input I put <All> and in the output, the Ripchord. In Ch Out I wrote 1. If I change the number, the piano stops making sound.

I noticed that if I record on the track where the piano is, the chords are recorded next to the trigger key. The strange thing is that it does not happen on all the chords. It seems random.

If I record on the Ripchord track, the chords are recorded but they appear as a single line in the MIDI editor, not as three. We are close but, obviously, there is something I cannot get right.

@McHumphreys Ok, I now had time to make some screenshots. Then we have a step-by-step guide on this topic.

Here is the MIDI plugin option for adding plugins like Ripchord:

After that, you enable Send MIDI.

On your piano track enable Ripchord as an input (reMidi in my case), either a right click on the record button or via the track editor (arrow).

Make sure the piano track doesn't have the same input as your Ripchord track. In my case Track 1 is recording ALL MIDI inputs. This will then get mixed with the reMidi chords from track 2, so I will get the notes I press on the keyboard plus the chords generated by the plugin.

You need to select another input which doesn't send any notes if you only want to receive the chord notes and not the input notes.

If you don't have another input available, I recommend to install a virtual MIDI port like LoopMidi or LoopBe1 and select that as an input.
